Greg Wilson’s three plus hour At The Table lecture is fun, entertaining and stuffed to the gills with great magic and moves. I highly recommend this purchase for magicians of all levels. The lecture starts off with a joke-mock 1970’s era advertisement for a magic VHS tape for the “Art of Card Throwing.” That is… Continue Reading At The Table Lecture With Gregory Wilson by Murphy’s Magic Supplies

Alex Pandrea’s 2 hour “At The Table” lecture, hosted by Eric Jones, is excellent, informative, entertaining and well worth the price. Pandrea’s demonstrates his top-notch card handling skills in a mostly card focused lecture, but has some great tricks that don’t use playing cards. There are tips, tricks and suggestions for beginners to experts and… Continue Reading At The Table Lecture With Alex Pandrea by Murphy’s Magic Supplies

Drop is Lydon Jugalbot’s variation to his 2013 trick, Unwritten. With Drop, the spectator picks and signs the back of any freely selected card, on the end of the card, in a specific and small area.

This is a great close-up and super visual playing card-to-bill change effect by French magician Michael Chatelain. This trick comes with a French-English DVD, two gimmicks for use with Bicycle playing cards and a color copy of Euro bill, which need not be used if you prefer to use another bill, i.e. an American dollar… Continue Reading Bill Flash Reverse by Mickael Chatelain and Gi’mick Magic

If you already own one, you should buy this DVD immediately. For less than $10 you get a clear and interesting lecture from world class magician, Daryl. This… Continue Reading Essentials in Magic: The Mental Photography Deck by Daryl

MC Sandwich is a great gimmicked sandwich trick that is amazingly visual and easy to perform. Although Mickael Chatelain (MC) borrowed McDonald’s golden arches on the product’s packaging materials and plays off of McDonald’s name, brand colors and logo, this trick and its patter have nothing to do with the fast food chain, other than… Continue Reading Mc Sandwich by Mickael Chatelin and Gi’mickmagic

Look away! LOOK, by Limin is not worthwhile. In LOOK, the performer gives the spectator a bunch of arts and crafts googly eyes and a blank faced card. The spectator sticks two google eyes on the blank card, draws a face around the eyes and names the character. The performer tells the spectator that they… Continue Reading LOOK by Limin and Magic Soul

L.O.V.E. is visual multiple card change with a fun story line and a twist. In L.O.V.E., the spectator says “when” during a dribble (or other method) and picks the top four “random” cards, which are both red and black cards; a 7, Queen, Ace and 3. After discussing one of many story lines, about the… Continue Reading L.O.V.E. by SansMinds Productions

“Awesome!” was the one-word description that table hopping spectators used to describe Alex Pandrea’s Domino Effect, released by his company, The Blue Crown. The Domino Effect is a modern version of the classic copper silver transposition routine, but using multi-color sugar packets instead of coins. The performer starts off with a pink packet of Sweet… Continue Reading Domino Effect by Alex Pandrea and The Blue Crown
